Virtual classrooms
An innovative online program, our Virtual Classrooms engage students in live web discussions featuring influential public figures. The David Suzuki Virtual Classroom featuring the film Force of Nature, is one of several such events that have reached thousands of Canadian students.
Pre-selected NFB films serve to prompt discussion on current affairs and critical issues. Students have the opportunity to connect with influential public figures and each other, from coast to coast, providing a unique and engaging experience that transcends traditional textbook learning.
The Virtual Classrooms have only basic technological requirements. Once subscribers acquire a copy of the film to be discussed, all they need is Internet access, a webcam and microphone.

- A Journey to Reconciliation: Understanding Canada’s Residential School System
This special professional development event hosted by the Ottawa-Carleton District School Board in partnership with the National Film Board of Canada and the Legacy of Hope Foundation gives educators a valuable opportunity to examine and reflect upon the impact and legacy of Canada’s Residential School System. In this dark chapter of Canadian history, thousands of Aboriginal children were torn from their families and communities in order to be educated and assimilated into mainstream Canadian culture. Designed for teachers of Grades 9–12 and college- or CEGEP-level courses, this NFB Virtual Classroom focuses not only on the school system and its impact across generations but also on the importance of resilience, and how we can participate in the reconciliation process.
